Review:
I kind of wanted to see this movie when it came out in theaters, but I just waited for it to come out on DVD. The plot and concept of the film is extremely unique, but everything does get really confusing. So much is packed into 2 hours that there isn't enough time to explain what everything is. I definitely think that the movie would be more enjoyable if I had read the book first because the book would be able to explain more. Anyways, the movie was kind of boring except for the parts where the polar bears come in. The polar bear fight was about the best thing. Overall, the movie was average and nothing to really get excited over, but it wasn't bad either.

My Rating: 6/10

Yea, I read the series. Really enjoyed that, and was told by my friend that the movie was absolute crap compared to it as they changed some of the story line. :(

Really? Man, that really stinks then.
I hate when movies veer off from the book.

I have heard of this movie, but my dad and I aren't going to use money to buy/rent this. It just isn't our kind of movie.
